actually you can have both saves on at the same time. I never deleted my disc save and I've had no problem with trophies on the PSN version.crispyben said:

Can somebody tell me if I still need the Cagney and Bikes update after downloading the 1.6 update?

360? It seems like the answer is no.ArcticDonkey said:

Much appreciated
I think you are playing the game the wrong way. It's absolutely not that necessary to learn the whole map in BP. I'll give you 3 tips so you can win pretty much everything without knowing the map (which really isn't that complicated).Sectus said:
1. At the top-middle of the screen there's the Street Name Signs. When you need to make a turn the street name either on the left or the right will start flashing. Take that turn to get to the finish line.
2. Look at the signal lights at the back of the car. Quite a bit of time before you need to make corner the left or right light will start flashing
3. Look on your HUD map during straights and guess where it's best to go (sometimes you might find a faster route then the one provided by points nr1 and nr2)

I defintely do not know the map, nor do I even look at the mini-map. I use methods 1 & 2 (above post) for racing and that's all I need.
Otherwise I just drive around and do shit. There's literally SO much shit you can do it will take forever, and by that time you probably will know the map. Which I guess is kind of the point in the way they designed the game.
I'm still upset about losing the ability to set or change the soundtrack when online. Why on earth would they take that OUT?

Come on guys, anyone on BP right now? SPILL.
Criterion Games said:If the release of the Party Pack wasn't enough for you, we've got more!
Today, we're proud to announce a brand new pack for 2009.
But, you'll have to head for the pages of the all new Criterion Games Network in Burnout Paradise on PS3 or PC to find out about this one.
See you there!

360 owners got to keep the Newsfeed screen that was added in Cagney. I'm assuming that's where it's going to go.Brandon F said:

awesome. free or pay? ;o
Ok, so, the PC Version came out and, as i understand, there's a store INSIDE the game, that allows me to upgrade the demo to the final version.
Will i also be able to buy expansions from inside that store aswell?
If so, what does that mean to a Steam version of Burnout Paradise? I totally want to buy the game on PC, but i wanted to get it on steam, but these points are making me worried...

From the beginning MSFT has always said they are not a PC, that they're a gaming system and if you want to browse the web get a pc. Since then they've expanded that out quite a bit and are obviously shooting for a media hub device. But back in those days, GAF with their tinfoil hats used to scream bloody murder about not wanting a PC and wanting a pure gaming console. Turned out, the whole time Sony kept pimping themselves as a computer. It's weird how that worked out and how it didn't bother anyone after it was supposedly a big deal back then.epmode said:
not that i personally cared either way.
sorry, just ranting. but if you were on gaf back in the early xbox days you would remember this crap too.
Returners said:
Ok, so, the way i see it, the online store inside burnout paradise is nothing more than a direct connection to the EA Store.
So there's a store inside the game. My question is: Since EA has titles on Steam now, would that make impossible for burnout paradise to appear on Steam?
Because I DESPISE EA Store, but i really want burnout paradise. Direct2Drive is not an option, since, as you might not believe it, i don't live in the US. A boxed copy is not going to show up down here anytime soon either. I was gonna get the 360 version, but when i heard it was gonna come to the PC, I waited for that version instead, but I want it on Steam. It kind of has to be on Steam.
I just think that it might not come out on Steam, because of the in-game online store thing.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The retry function is so well-integrated into the game that I think I'd now call this the best racing game ever created. It's unbelievable, and being able to instantly retry races that go cross-map basically takes away my only major complaint. Plus, all those that whined about it being put IN to the game don't ever have to see it because of how well it's hidden in the menu system.
Unbelievable job, Criterion. This is truly the game of the forever.
In today's world of quick sequels with few new modes/options, it's incredibly refreshing to see a developer support a current game with such amazing content. As fans, we need to support their content as much as possible because if this trend catches on, gaming will only get better and better.

ORLY!! Need to do this later.
The Party Pack seems awesome and i'd love to support the team; unfortunately i don't really play in offline multiplayer with my friends and 800 is a bit too much.
But does it add some new online features, too? something else?
Most importantly; are the new colorful visuals included in the free update aswell?

I have the exact same thing. Would love to support Criterion by paying for DLC but I know I'll never use it. And it does seem really cool looking at their latest CrashTV podcast.Wizpig said:
Anyway there's loads of other DLC coming (like 6 packs or something) to support them later.
And yes the new visuals are in the free update. Looks alot better imho.

Way back in the day when i first tried out the demo i didn't really like it a whole lot. Though it was ok. After EvilAvatar gave it their racing goty i went back and tried it again, holy crap now.. the game is a masterpiece. You should try it out now, so much has improved. The game is incredible... trust me on this, for $20 you are getting a steal. Get it.Greg said:
Well, you guys are convincing - I just cycled through the menus on the PSN store really fast and hit confirm before I could tell myself otherwise.
I recall being a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing when I rented it... maybe it was because I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish the whole thing before taking it back. No choice but to give it a try now. :lol

I noticed something new just now, though I'm not quite sure if this came with the most recent update or if I'm just lttp.
But on the little HUD map in the corner, there's suddenly an enlarged Junkyard icon continuously displayed around the edges of the map to guide you to the nearest Junkyard.
Also, when you are in a vehicle that hasn't completed it's burning route, it will guide you with a similar enlarged icon towards the spot where you can start the burnout route.
Love it!
